It isa still'further object of this invention to provide a receptacle having a normally Without disclosed entrance that can be opened by slight pressure for the deposit of material and that will be automatically and silently closed upon the removal of the pressure. l

.It is yet another object of this invention to provide a receptacle that presents a neat substantial appearance, that' is sim lev of construction and economical to manu acture, and that is sanitary in its operation.

. Other and further important objects of thisv invention will be apparent fromI the dis,-V

closures in the speci cation and the accompanying drawing. Y t
